Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 287 New Threat
"
There was only one man that could terrify Marcus Alvarez and he was on the other end of this phone call. Nero Padilla was the regional president of the Mayans. The region extended from Texas to California and down to Mexico. His job was to keep the Mayan charters working together and to keep order. That could include ordering the death of a charter president who broke the rules.
"Marcus, there's word on the street that someone tried to wipe out the Charming charter of the Sons of Anarchy."
Marcus was a no win situation. If he said he knew about it, then he would be in trouble for not informing Nero. If he said he hadn't heard, it would look like he didn't know what was going on.
"I've heard there was a shooting, but I haven't gotten any confirmed information," Marcus said carefully.
"Let me confirm some things for you," Nero said his voice silky.
Marcus knew that tone of voice and it was a sign of danger. He had no information because Esai his son hadn't called him. He didn't know if that meant he was dead, wounded or on the run.
"The Sons were attacked and miraculously they all lived. The attackers weren't so lucky. They were all killed except one, possibly two escaped."
Marcus' heart beat faster. This was bad. He felt like he was walking into a trap. He had to say or do whatever it took to save his charter. That was the outlaw MC way. Family ties were not as important as club ties. Esai knew that. He also knew the consequences of failure.
"Any word on who was behind the attack?"
"Glad you asked," Nero said. "Turns out it may have been some small brother club. You may have heard of it Calaveras Lodi."
"That's my son's MC."
"Why would they attack the Sons? Do you know anything about it?"
This was the time when Esai was going to have to be sacrificed for the good of his Mayans charter.
"No, I had no idea he had this planned."
"What do you intend to do about this?"
"I can't have brother charters going out and attacking a major charter like the Sons."
"That doesn't tell me what you are going to do about this. This goes beyond the Calaveras Lodi. You know the Sons will view this as an attack on all their charters. This will lead to a bloody war and for what? A brother charter who came up with a stupid idea and failed and now all the Mayan charters may have to pay the price in a war."
"What do you suggest?"
"Eliminate all living members of the Calaveras Lodi. That's the easy part. Next, you contact the Sons and find a way to make peace with them. I don't care how much it costs your charter. We will not go to war over this. Am I clear?"
"Yes, sir."
The call ended. Marcus cursed himself for letting his son put the plan against the Sons into action. Now Esai, if he were still alive, had to pay with his life and his Mayan charter will have to pay financially. He could even be voted out as charter president. This was a fucking disaster.
